Recent reports have highlighted a workplace culture that enabled sexual harassment in @ChicagosMayor’s office. The Women's Caucus wants to send a clear message that sexual harassment is never acceptable in City Hall or any workplace--and we are watching to ensure it's addressed appropriately.

Mayor Brandon Johnson again says he doesn’t discuss “personnel issues” when asked if he asked Pedro Martinez to resign. Adds: “I was elected to fight for the people of the city, and whoever's in the way of that, get out of it.”

NEW: Brandon Johnson’s administration is refusing to release emails between top Chicago Teachers Union leaders and his Deputy Mayor of Education Jen Johnson. Why? Because CTU leaders are so involved in governing the city that producing all 1,200+ pages of emails between Stacy Davis Gates, Jackson Potter, Kurt Hilgendorf and Jen Johnson would be “unduly burdensome,” according to the city’s response to a FOIA request for these records.

BREAKING: CNN drops bombshell, reveals that the National Archives just notified Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Justice Department that it has “critical evidence,” including a whopping 16 incriminating recordings, that could land Trump in prison because they “prove that Donald Trump” KNEW that it was illegal to “declassify” top secret documents by simply “declaring them classified.” The recorded communications are between the National Archives and “Trump himself,” and “top Trump staffers.” CNN reports that the “16 presidential records, which were subpoenaed earlier this year, may provide critical evidence establishing the former president’s awareness of the declassification process, a key part of the criminal investigation into Trump’s mishandling of classified documents.” CNN continues, declaring that the recordings “may also provide insight into Trump’s intent and whether he willfully disregarded what he knew to be clearly established protocols, according to a source familiar with recent testimony provided to the grand jury by former top Trump officials.” Please RT and ❤️ if you think that Trump MUST be criminally charged — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competition I created that Elon Musk is trying to silence. He banned Tribel’s Twitter account, but he hast yet banned this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

Let's be clear. Commissioner Steele lied. She lied about cheating the tax system. Now she wants to run it. We cannot go back to the days when the Assessor’s Office was used for the financial benefit of the well-connected.
